#4 Pujara brings Rajkot back to life

Cheteshwar Pujara
Pujara went for the review as soon as he saw the umpire raise his finger

This was Rajkot’s maiden Test match and their very own Cheteshwar Pujara needed just 14 more runs to reach three figures. However, a slider from Zafar Ansari rapped onto his pads when he pressed forward to defend. Much to the dismay of the local crowd, umpire Chris Gaffaney raised the dreaded finger.

Understandably, Pujara did not wait for too long before sending the decision upstairs. His decision was vindicated as ball-tracking showed that it had gone over the stumps. As soon as the giant screen screamed ‘Not Out’, the crowd in the stadium cheered and the right-hander’s family members breathed a sigh of relief. He did go on to complete a much needed century for the Indians.
